China's market economy status with Europe may have to wait a little longer. That's because the European Union again declined to grant China this status on Wednesday.

But at the China-EU summit in the Hague attended by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, EU officials agreed to help identify steps China must take, to acquire what they say is more of a status symbol than an economic advantage.

Meanwhile, the EU cautioned China to use with moderation, its growing share of the world textiles and clothing market, so as not to overwhelm countries who may not be able to compete.
